At a walk-around party, salad can be tricky to eat: Greens seem to fly off plates, and the plates themselves can be flimsy or, at best, hard to balance. One way to handle the problem is to pile the salad in large glasses or plastic tumblers. Tuck in bread, and you have a showy first course or main dish that’s easy to grasp.
